Hi from the UK (North Lincs area)

[Rick448]

Hi all,

I am just awaiting delivery of my new Mavic Air 2 drone, and am looking forward to entering the world of drones. I have been into photography for many years, but have never used a drone before. I have already got my Flyer and Operator ID and have started my A2 COC course to allow me to benefit from the transition period rules.

I live in North Lincs and work at Humberisde Airport, my house is just within the restricted zone, so no flying in my back garden... I am looking forward to joining in discussions and learning more about this new hobby.

Hi there & welcome to the forum ?

Don't forget that you can download a much more extensive user manual than the one you will get in the box ...
Get it here --> https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/Mavic_Air_2/Mavic_Air_2_User_Manual_v1.4_en.pdf

Here are some things to help you get started with your Mavic Air 2:

• The current Mavic Air 2 manual can be downloaded here (it doesn't come in the box). Other important documents can be found on the Mavic Air 2 downloads page.
  
  
• Check out this getting started guide for some tips not found in the Mavic Air 2 manual.
  
  
• This video covers all the basics of the Mavic Air 2.
  
  
• Your drone batteries will last longer if you use and maintain them like this.
  
  
• Practice flying outdoors in a wide open location that's free of all obstacles. Don't attempt to fly inside your house or in other confined locations.
  
  
• The drone records flight data each time you fly. You can decrypt and view those flight logs with these tools.
  
  
• Check out MavicHelp.com for commonly used accessories you might need.

Hi Rick and welcome. I was in your situation a couple of years ago and would offer this. When your shiny new machine arrives first thing to do is find a good 'unboxing' video on Utube, which coupled with the user manual will take you through the basic steps required before your first flight. I found this a lot more helpful than just reading the manual. Have fun ?
